I can find many uses for old plastic shopping bags. Like lining small garbage cans. Or storing odds and ends in them. That kind of stuff. I guess we'll soon have to find something else to replace them.

Thanks to the same brilliant eco-nazis who have been fear-mongering GlobalCooling-GlobalWarming-ClimateChange for the last 50 years.
Sure, let’s use cloth “reusable” bags, which promotes E Coli and other food-borne pathogens because the envirowackos are too lazy to wash the bags.

I even wash the tops of canned goods, with bleachy hot water before opening them. Do think that’s going too far?
“They are all stained, probably never have been washed, etc.”
The cloth bags or the lefties?
Banning plastic bags is probably the second stupidest thing the politicians ever did
The first number one incredibly stupid thing politicians did try to “save the planet” was forcing everybody to use those stupid curly cue lamps all of which have 40 to 60 mg of gaseous mercury in them and would poison anybody that ever gets exposed to it
In addition there so nasty that 15% of people can’t even be around them
I dare you to even try to ever stare at one of those stupid curly cue lamps
For 10 seconds
My local grocery store has the best plastic bags. They’re bigger and stronger than Safeway or Krogers. I always say “plastic” when asked because I use them for my kitchen trash can and yard waste.
I recently asked the clerk if I could buy some, since our state is considering banning them. It turns out all of their bags are for sale. I bought a group of 50 for $2—4cents a bag. Well worth it. I’m hoping they’ll still have them for sale even with the ban.

California banned plastic bags a couple of years ago. I still buy them off Amazon by the case. I use them for dog poo and garbage bags in the small trash cans around the house. I use the reusable plastic bags for groceries but here everyone just switched to the thick plastic bags which I’m sure take a lot longer to break down than the one use ones. The one thing I’ve noticed is I don’t see the thin plastic bags all over the place anymore. That’s about the only difference.
